They easily buy them from another state that has loose guns controls, perhaps through a friend.

Also, what the hell does one guy need 23 guns for when shooting from the 32 floor? IMO it feels like there may have been more than one person involved in the shooting.
how did he carry all these guns and ammo up to his room?

by himself?

Some would consider him part of the problem. Most people would call a cop over a guy posessing stolen motorcycles etc why didn't he turn in a felon with a gun?

Well southern IL and Indiana have guns all over the place.
Unless guns are banned nationally I don't think we'll see a drop in gun crime.

The U.S. is too saturated with guns already anyway, It'd take generations before the common criminal will lose the ability to attain guns.

Terrorist will always be able to get guns from other countries/Deep Black market

We already have armed police/security at all those games and concerts. We have LE at EVERY single school here during the day.

Not saying it's 100% but people are asking for some solutions.

Not sure but he doesn't come around anymore. If I knew his "real" name I could probably look it up. Tweekers give me the heebie jeebs.

Have drunk driving laws eliminated drunk drivers? No. Strict gun control laws will only prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns, creating even more soft targets. Criminals don't give a rat's ass what the law says. They're armed and shoot/kill others every week: Chicago.
